This shouting echoed through the dark and silent Subduing Demon Abyss, eliciting shock from some passing cultivators who then regarded him with disbelief.
In Subduing Demon Abyss, Human Race cultivators were cautious, exploring meticulously, avoiding Demon Race patrols, and relying on their numbers to hunt down demons. This had become an ingrained law for Human Race cultivators. Demon Race, inherently powerful, made one-on-one encounters perilous for Human Race cultivators.
Long Hao's bold proclamation, treating Demon Race as mere food, was considered madness by others.
"Is this person crazy?"
"I bet he won't last long; soon, he'll become demon food."
Such comments echoed among the cultivators who were observing.
Unbeknownst to Long Hao, his declaration not only angered his fellow cultivators but also attracted bloodthirsty demons. As a result, a considerable number of demons began to converge, moving toward Long Hao, eager to tear apart the audacious Human Race.
In response, cultivators who were originally exploring the area had to change their routes, circumventing Long Hao's location to avoid encountering the swarming demons.
"Damn it! If I find out who this guy is, I'll tear him apart!"
"This detour is going to waste a day or two. By then, someone else might snatch away the demon medicine!"
Frustration and anger filled the cultivators as they cursed Long Hao under their breaths.
Meanwhile, oblivious to the brewing resentment around him, Long Hao continued his bold expedition into the depths of Subduing Demon Abyss.
As he moved away, two formidable demons, even stronger than the previous one, took notice of Long Hao's actions.
These demons were at the Peak of high-level, surpassing the strength of a Fleshy Body Realm 9th Layer cultivator. Meeting such demons would usually prompt a cultivator to turn and flee.
However, Long Hao, unfazed, met them head-on. His powerful punches, like a rainbow erupting, carried the might of a giant dragon. There was no hesitation in his movements, and he did not fear consuming his energy.
Facing the aggressive Long Hao, the two high-level demons were swiftly subdued. Long Hao extracted the demon beads from their bodies, using them as nourishment to enhance his strength.
After absorbing the demon beads, Long Hao felt a crack in his fleshy body, followed by a dragon roar resonating within him. It was as if something formidable had awakened, and his entire demeanor became more robust.
"Hmm, the second dragon vein finally awakened, and my cultivation base has reached Fleshy Body Realm 8th Layer!"
Having awakened two dragon veins, Long Hao now possessed 20,000 Jin divine strength, making him nearly unrivaled in Fleshy Body Realm.
Unlike ordinary cultivators who concentrated on breaking through to Transcendent Realm after reaching Fleshy Body Realm 10th Layer, Long Hao needed a solid foundation for the divine art Primal Chaos Ancestral Dragon Secret Art.
Moreover, with his current cultivation base not being high enough, the benefits of breaking through to Transcendent Realm were unimaginable.
Buoyed by his newfound strength, Long Hao continued his journey into Subduing Demon Abyss.
Along the way, he encountered scattered demons, all of which were swiftly subdued. Long Hao accumulated a considerable number of demon beads.
Eventually, a large group of demons gathered, and many of them were at the 5th Layer or 6th Layer of Fleshy Body Realm, surrounding Long Hao.
The demonic aura thickened, forming a dense cloud around Long Hao. Each demon's scarlet eyes glared with ferocity, resembling ghostly apparitions.
This sight would terrify an ordinary Fleshy Body Realm cultivator, and even weaker Transcendent Realm powerhouses would hope to escape, as prolonged battles in Subduing Demon Abyss were akin to suicide.
"Haha, come at me!"
"Since you've sent so many demon beads, I won't hold back!"
Long Hao displayed no fear, his eyes filled with intense heat and greed. He eagerly anticipated the impending confrontation with the demons.
Such a fearless attitude infuriated the surrounding Abyss Demon Race. Each powerful demon was seething with rage.
"Many Human Race, die!"
Several superior-level demons at the Fleshy Body Realm 10th Layer shot forward like cannonballs, their bodies carrying an overwhelming demonic will as they sought to tear Long Hao apart.
"Great Sun Rising!"
"Long Rainbow Piercing Sun!"
"Big Dipper Breaking Void!"
"Crap-Myrtle Subduing Heaven!"
...
Long Hao unleashed a torrent of attacks with his 36 styles Star Battle Fist, and a world-shaking dragon roared in response.
A punch created a blazing fire that incinerated a super-level demon.
Another punch, forceful and direct, penetrated the body of a superior-level demon.
A punch that suppressed the four poles shattered an oncoming demon.
In a flash, the super-level demons that led the charge were battered by the onslaught.
"What?"
"Is this guy really just at the Fleshy Body Realm?"
The surrounding demons were astonished. Many superior-level demons, capable of contending with weaker Transcendent Realm powerhouses, were annihilated within moments. Despite the massive energy expenditure, Long Hao's face showed no signs of fatigue as he continued his counterattack.
"Haha, don't forget to offer your Demon Bead!"
Long Hao laughed, charging into the swarm like a tiger among sheep. With every punch, a demon was subdued and killed.
Even the powerful superior-level demons were like children before him, utterly defenseless.
"He... he's not Human Race..."
"Devil, he's the real devil..."
Witnessing Long Hao transform into a humanoid tyrannosaurus, slaughtering demons effortlessly, the remaining demons were overwhelmed with fear. In their eyes, Long Hao became a demonic god, turning their once ferocious Demon Race into docile lambs.
